Trimensional anxiety – I by Thanos Kalamidas
When I called late in the evening and showed Britt the small
paragraph in the third page of Småstaden Posten her reaction was a
giggle and a small push to my finger that was still pointing the
letters. Still and despite her obvious dismay she read it. All of it.
“I don’t believe it.” She declared finally and urn towards the kitchen to look at the food roasting in the oven.
